"Charting the Course: Values for Navigating Life in the Marketplace"

Why is it that the same economic forces that produce good things for us like penicillin and housing are just as effective at bringing us things like pornography and heroin?  How can the same systems of production generate such a wide array of good and bad outcomes?

There is a way forward.  While it is true that markets have no values, they are mirrors for reflecting the values that people bring to the marketplace each and every day.  If people bring the right values, then markets will produce the right outcomes.  People from all walks of life have a shared vision for the economic world in which they want to live.  We do know what is right.  The task before us is to take what we know and apply these practical principles in daily economic life.
